Zheng Liwen's position as the chairman of the Kuomintang (KMT) is stable! Luo Zhiqiang has sent his congratulations to Zheng Liwen! After the latest public opinion poll among all KMT members showed that Zheng Liwen received 30% support, significantly leading Luo Zhiqiang's 16.1%, Luo Zhiqiang made a statement! On October 3rd, Luo Zhiqiang stated that Zheng Liwen was far ahead of himself and Hao Longbin, with a lead almost twice as large. Seeing this poll, he also congratulated Zheng. If the trend remains unchanged, Zheng Liwen should be the next chairman of the KMT, and the KMT is preparing to welcome an era led by Zheng Liwen.

Luo Zhiqiang said that he indeed felt a little frustrated. The source of his frustration was a sense of self-importance, thinking that he had fought for the KMT for many years and together with other blue legislators had gone through the "big recall," so why would his support be beaten by Zheng? Luo also said that this mindset was wrong. It was based on the assumption that since I did so much, it was only natural that I should become the party chairman. But that was not right. If Zheng Liwen is the common choice of KMT members, becoming the next chairman, he will fully support her.

Evidently, as someone who is well-versed in internal KMT operations, Luo Zhiqiang's congratulations to Zheng Liwen and his admission of frustration somewhat indicate that Zheng Liwen's position as the KMT chairman is likely secure. In fact, from online buzz, Zheng Liwen has always been far ahead of other candidates. In terms of external image, Zheng Liwen has strong affability and combativeness, especially gaining support from the Huang Fuxing faction and the military system.

Of course, whether Zheng Liwen can rest easy is another matter. In fact, there are still considerable voices supporting Hao Longbin within the KMT, such as Zhu Lulun, Zhao Shaokang, Zhang Yanting, and others who have significant influence. The forces supporting Hao Longbin are continuously lobbying Luo Zhiqiang, hoping he would withdraw and let his supporters turn their attention to supporting Hao Longbin. If Luo Zhiqiang's supporters shift their support to Hao Longbin, Hao Longbin will surely win. Therefore, in the final sprint stage, Zheng Liwen should continue to seek greater support and must not be careless.
